Why One Should Prefer Pen And Paper To Talking?

The adjective Pen and Paper speaks for itself. It means writing on paper with a pen.

Writing is a medium of expressing our thoughts on paper. It's a better way for us to express ourselves because when we right we can correct it but when we talk there is no way we can take those words back that we said. If we said something that has hurt someone deeply then we can't change it back but when we put it in writing we put a thought to it and think about it.

Why writing is better than talking?

It is better than spoken words because when we write something, it stays forever. As a human being we cannot remember everything we hear and see. Thats when writing kicks in. You can always write something you want to remember like a beautiful holiday or an awesome trip. You can journal the whole vacation and it then it stays with you forever.

I prefer writing because writing helps me express the way I am and my opinion which I cannot when I talk because I think when we write we actually put our thoughts on paper and if we write with a pen then we can't change that thought.

We usually forget our words but when you write you put a pin to that particular thought. You might forget it in a few weeks or months or years but that piece of paper can never forget it.

Do you remember what you did today 10 years ago?
You do not. You might have stayed at home or gone to a party or were sick or anything.

We actually think when we write we cannot do it in the heat of the moment. That's right heat of the moment does not apply to writing you have to give it a thought, you have to think about it twice then you decide whether to do it or not. You can change it, erase it, cut it off, paste it, remove it or do whatever you want.

The only problem with writing is that there is written proof. It can be used against you. So if you ever write a personal journal or diary your top priority should be that you have a good hiding place.  The one only you know, is easily accessible but yet cannot be found by others and don't brag to other people that you have one. It will only make matters worse.

Here is a fun task for you. Write a letter to your future self. Like 10 years in the future. What you want to do at that time , what you should have done, what you want to become, have you achieved your goals, have things turned out the way you wanted? Write about everything you want 10 years from now in it. Make sure you seal it, hide it and find it only after 10 years and not before. In the future when you read that letter you will know what you wanted when you were young, the vacation you wanted to go on, the dream job you always wanted or anything.

Thats all for now. Ciao ;)
